"That's to say, Commander Rocky is willing to command the Evian City's troops. But why did he leave so suddenly?" Commander Wang asked, confused and surprised.
Of course, it wasn't just Commander Wang. The other commanders were just as puzzled. Rocky came up with the battle plan, but why did he only share it with Sabina and let her inform them?
"Rocky explained that his plan isn't for the Crimson Dragon Group. He just doesn't want to see the citizens of the Evian City homeless. He refused to give orders to the Evian City's soldiers and they are under my command..." Sabina finally explained.
This left all the commanders even more baffled than they already were. They had no idea what Rocky was thinking. Since Sabina was carefully following the battle strategy he had laid out, Rocky still commanded the Evian City's troops after all. Whether Rocky or Sabina gave the orders, it didn't matter.
Marin, on the other hand, still wasn't quite sure what was going on. Although Rocky left without a trace, Sabina insisted that Rocky had left them with a battle plan for the Evian City's soldiers. Although it angered Marin because he never showed an ounce of care for the city, her rage had now dissipated.
"What the hell is he doing? This is so unlike him," Marin said as she pursed her lips together.
"Listen carefully. Here's the plan," Sabina announced as she gave the commanders a cold, assured glance. She continued, "Once the Timber Deity Empire begins its attack, Commander Wang will lead two thousand troops to the south gate to fight. The other areas won't require any defending. You and your troops just need to lead the majority of the enemy soldiers to that specific location.
As for the other three Elite Commanders, they'll be leading two thousand soldiers who'll be waiting at that s
Why would he care now? This all might be a trap!"
Immediately, the commanders began to murmur and discuss the reliability of the plan.
"Don't be so quick to judge. Sabina hasn't even finished explaining the whole strategy yet!" Marin exclaimed above the noise and stood up.
"Correct, Marin. I have only explained the first step of the plan Rocky has come up with," Sabina reiterated.
"The first step?" All the commanders focused their attention back to Sabina.
"Yes. Now, as I was saying, the second step will be as follows. Fetch me a topographic map of Evian City," Sabina ordered.
Soon, a detailed map of Evian City was handed over and laid out before her.
"Once the first step is completed, we move on to this—step two. We will make use of the Evian City's terrain. Its winding alleys and paths will be advantageous once we lay down traps common in guerilla warfare. These will serve to slow the enemy down." Pointing at the map, Sabina added, "Tonight, we will be arranging various traps in the streets and alleys nearest the south gate. I will leave Commander Marin in charge of this."
"Right away." Upon hearing this, Marin nodded in approval. She was the first to leave the room.
